Reagan on Bush

Isn’t it past time we realized that whenever Bush or his allies seem to admit an uncomfortable truth, it’s only a tactical retreat. They’re really just trying to get through the day. Then, when we’ve stopped paying attention, they’ll go back to doing what they’re good at: subverting the truth.

Ron Jr. has it exactly right. BushCo's capacity for Reality Ignorance is breathtaking -- and they get away with it (for the most part) because of the breathtaking power and money which they use to insulate themselves from the effects of their own actions.

But Reality will not be mocked without impunity. The longer they delay their own Reality Reckoning, the nastier it will be. The hope is that the collateral damage isn't too severe.

Please consider these aid agencies for donations to help the victims of Hurricane Katrina, as well as the victims of the Indian Ocean tsunamis. Mercury Rising is not affiliated with any of these organizations, nor can we directly vouch for them.
